Send us Fan Mail Empathy is often treated as something we should always have, but it has limits. Meaning, if a friend keeps repeating the same mistake, it becomes harder to have compassion or to see that they may be going through difficult times. A lot of the time, I believe it's just who they are, and we failed to see it at the beginning of the friendship. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail We are dating in a time where everything is quick and fast. Relationships can become hot and heavy almost overnight, and before you know it, it’s over. That’s why it’s crucial to pause and ask important questions before entering a relationship. Yes, he takes you out every weekend and calls you regularly, which are good signs. However, it's important to slow down and discuss whether he is willing to commit to certain boundaries if you decide to pursue a relationship toge...
Send us Fan Mail Yes, I did self-abandon myself. The grief was unbearable. Losing my mommy and my furbaby back-to-back was painful, and for a while, I didn’t want to move forward. But in March, something in me began to change, something shifted. I believe it was my angels—my mom, my sister, and Lulu—guiding me. I made the decision to start living again, even with the pain still present. I understand that life will look different now, and it always will. But I am giving it my very best, taking...
Send us Fan Mail So, let’s talk about something that many of us don’t even realize we’re experiencing… self-abandonment. I don’t think we truly understand what self-abandonment really means. A lot of times, we believe that because we have a job, a place to live, and a car, that we’re doing just fine… that everything must be okay. But I say “okay” carefully… because sometimes that feeling of being just okay can actually be a warning sign — a quiet signal that we may be abandoning ourselves wit...
Send us Fan Mail There is never just one side to a story. Every situation has layers and emotions behind it. I often say there are three stories — one person’s side, the other person’s side, and the truth somewhere in between. Yet even then, there is still another layer, another story waiting to be told. The more we listen and try to understand, the more we see that stories are complicated, and the truth isn’t always just one thing. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail It's all about our childhood experiences and what we see. We see our parents, friends, and teachers, and we see this fairytale in our minds, not the trials and tribulations. These early impressions shape our expectations and beliefs, sometimes setting us up for disappointment when reality doesn’t match the storybook in our minds. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail We are all working through something, but the key is to keep striving for your goals. I say goals, but most of us are doing what we are passionate about in our lives, and that's the fun part!
Send us Fan Mail Sadly, it took my own grieving process to give me a clearer picture of who I should cut out of my friendship circle. I have to laugh at this because I had to distant myself from all of them. I think before my grieving process, I didn’t care as much, if you call every day, speaking only of yourself. I would just say she needs so much attention, and put it on the lack of affection you weren't receiving from your significant other, or some childhood trauma. https://www.ins...
Send us Fan Mail In this podcast, I talk about how some people stay in a marriage until they can't handle it anymore. I explore the idea that we all have multiple soul mates in this life. I even talk about having multiple husbands if it comes to that, and more.
Send us Fan Mail Watch out for the nontalker when you are beginning to put yourself out there to meet and date. It says a lot, and I’m not talking about his communication style.
Send us Fan Mail A little more in-depth on this topic, like why men secretly prefer to date the so-called 'difficult woman'. We all know by now she's a woman with high standards!
Send us Fan Mail When you start letting things slide in a relationship, that’s often when he stops showing up as a man — as a gentleman—because now you’re simply going along with everything. It’s important to maintain your standards so he can hold himself to them as well. I believe many relationships begin to break down when we start allowing things we once wouldn’t accept, and over time, that can lead to a loss of respect. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail In today’s podcast, I started discussing what I believe is one of the worst types of betrayal and ended up revealing a personal secret about myself. We all have secrets, and perhaps in a future episode, I’ll share more of mine. While some of my secrets may not seem troubling to others, they represent moments in my life that I wanted to change in order to achieve a happier existence. For now, though, I’ll keep things light! (lol) https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail In this podcast, we will discuss the difference between needing a relationship and desiring one. We sometimes get confused about the two meanings, so let's talk about what it means to need or desire one. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail In this podcast, I got the question of what makes a woman a great lover in a relationship, and I'm here to answer that! I think you all want to embarrass me! I'm not shy! Anyway, I put in a few things I like to do in a relationship https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail I received quite a few responses from my previous podcast. Some listeners feel that I might be misreading the situation, and I understand that perspective. However, it’s also possible that some of you may not want to recognize the full picture of where you truly stand in someone's life. We can't keep lying to ourselves by saying that people are just busy, that things will change, or that we’re overthinking it. While this can sometimes be true, there are also moments when our ...
Send us Fan Mail On today’s podcast, I want to discuss something that made me reflect on the nature of friendship. Recently, I overheard someone I was with talking to another friend. She often refers to this other woman as a “close friend,” but what I heard in their conversation suggested a very different dynamic than how she usually describes their relationship. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail Ladies, let’s be honest—sometimes we sabotage a first date by trying too hard to appear perfect. Instead of being our authentic selves, we morph into someone else entirely—a version of ourselves that we barely recognize. In today’s episode, we’ll discuss why it’s important to let go of the perfectionist act and embrace who we truly are. By doing so, we may increase our chances of landing a second date. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
Send us Fan Mail Standards are important because they help us protect ourselves and make better choices about the people we allow into our lives. Our standards constantly remind us that we deserve to be treated with respect. It also prevents us from having one-sided friendships or intimate relationships with partners who aren't right for us. I feel that by prioritizing ourselves and maintaining clear standards, we are less likely to accept behavior that hurts us or makes us feel unimportant. ...
Send us Fan Mail A friend went out on a date and was told she's too much of a mom. I don't agree with that at all, but I will say, don't lose yourself!
